What is a Blog?

I never ever understood the definition, purpose, or enthusiasm for blogging? What is this "blogging"? And why is it a verb?

Now I have a blog. Created it about an hour ago. What do I do now? Do I just type what I am feeling, thinking, my opinions, perspective, etc. Do you now understand my confusion? I mean it took me like 10 minutes to think of a title because I didn't know whether I needed a creative title, a title that reflected my work or simply my name as the title. Then I just resorted to how I view life, that is what the majority of my blogging will entail and that's how "Dancing in a Field of Daises" became my title. I celebrate each and every aspect of life, from the tiny bumblebee that lands on a sunflower to the beauty found in an old and beaten house. All creation has a purpose, a reason for existence and therefore should be celebrated and admired continuously.

So sit back, sip on a cup of tea, and enjoy life with me.
